Prosperous JoURNAL.-If you want

the London Daily Telegraph, in Fleet street
This paper was always attractive, ana 1t mas
now reached such pitch of prosperity rs
to enable it to practice an independence
But it owes its success to the Levy -Lawsone'
whose efforts alone have made 1t worm
$1 $50 600 year, although, when us Presen'
proprietor took it over from Coi. olelsu,
who started it in 1855, the advertisements
in the FIRST number amounted 10 no noto

ment money was estimated az so'ooo Say'
and the circulation had gone uP ABOVE
100 600 copies. To day it is hardly possible
- sav What amount the advertisement col
umns daily bring in, but it has been
stated that in one day the gross income
from that source has exceeded SS,OOO
while the sale of the papers rarely
falls below 22O,0 900 and frequently tops
quarter of 8 million. In slack season
more than 1000 advertisements are daily
received but during the parliamentary ses-
sion. once, and sometimes twice week, the
Journal is enlarged to twelve pages, and the
total number of advertisements puoilsneu
raised to nearly 5000. In order to deal
with this mass of matter and stupendons CIR
culation extensive composing and machine
r rooms are required. The machins room
contains ten web perfectlng machines,
which generally run two hours eacn, 'u.n
ing cut 10000 copies each per hour. Besides
these there are some smaller presses and q
row of paperdampers. AS much paper as
possible is made at the Daily Telegraph
mills at hartford, in Kent, and the profit on
this item alone reaches 100000 per annnm.
Out of their princely returns it is not to pc
wondered that the Lawsons can now and

The GAZETTE is now the oldest paper +,

The GAZETTE has better facilities for ob
tanning news than any paper outside of Ii.
national capital. Situated as it is so clos.
to the great centre of news, it enjoys dsiv
the benefit OF the Associated Press IL,
patches from every part ofthe world here.
its patrons can read from its columns in N.
evening what has transpired that dsy in
every portion of our own domain as well a.
from every part of the habitabe globe
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE to publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve and
fifteen hours earlier than the morning "a.
pers.
Another feature that serves to make tina
GAZETTE q great desideratum with mer.
chants is its afternoon market reports from
New York, Baltimore, Chicago and other
centres.
The loca! department furnishes fell and
complete history of everything th2. occur:
in and near the city, and this feature will
as ever, receive careful attention.
Correspondence from Washington, Rich

lished regularly. and all events of nteres.
occurring within the bounds of the Com.
monwealth are TO he found in the column:
of the GAZETTE.
The GAzRTTE's circulation is steadily ID
creaaing, especially among people who con.
suit its advertising columns before purchas.

red from the fact that large country ed.
tion-nearly as large as the daily is sent
all over this section OF country three tines
